Soka spirits are worms which burrow into the skin of the Sutra's votaries

Soka spirits are worms filled  with the blood of Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin. Though engorged with vainglorious declarations and vows to defend what the Buddha has entrusted to them, they burrow deep in the flesh of the Buddha and Supreme Votary, failing to emerge into the sun of the true teachings. Once located, they will have to be unfixed by any means, with forceps, liquid soap, ablation, or desiccation.
